Many people would describe my paintings as “aboriginal art”, but I personally do not. While my artwork clearly reflects my indigenous heritage, it is also influenced by my “whiter” side. Many of my paintings attempt to depict the Australian bush and all of the creatures that inhabit it, in a way that acknowledges and celebrates indigenous culture and values. Other works seek to examine and depict the imbalance and tension between black and white Australia, while some address non-racial, universal themes of nature, life and death.
